now let's skip the tears and start on the whole-

[stagemanagers]

[You remember dying. Maybe the memory is clear and bright and your body still aches from the cause. Maybe it was fast enough that you didn't feel it and don't remember what you went through. But no matter how you went out you're still trapped here.

When you open your eyes it might take you a minute to recognize your surroundings. For the executed, it's your dressing room. For the victims, you startle awake in the place your body was discovered. But no matter where you are nothing is where you remember it. It's like everything has been picked up and moved to the other side of the room. The entire room has been perfectly mirrored from what it used to be and, upon leaving, it seems the rest of the opera house is just the same. If you remember one room being in the east wing, it's now in the west. If it was in the west, it's now in the east.


Welcome back to the Opera House, friends. Even in death you're still in the woods.]


WEEK 1 | WEEK 2 | WEEK 3 | WEEK 4 | WEEK 5


[ooc: Welcome to deadland, darlings! It's a perfectly mirrored version of the Opera House and each week, as new people die after new floors have been revealed, the stairwell doors will unlock and allow you to reach them. For example, week 3 victims will unlock floor 2 and so on and so forth. Also, all dead characters will wake up at their actual canon point.

Have fun because we have some fun things planned for you.]

Uh, I. I think all that, um. Weird time stuff is still happening?

[Although he's not actually looking at the image of Living Steven - not looking deliberately away, either, it's more like he just can't really see it.]

I'm not good at haunting, anyway...

[holyspit]

You've got to be better than me. You've been here- ...how long HAVE you been here?

[expertreese]

Uh. Maybe. Maybe a couple months now?

[no comment on the rest of it, because I promise you that Evan Hansen is not better than Steven Universe at even one single thing.]

[holyspit]

[I know that and you know that but Steven is cursed with a faith in even people like Evan and Ronaldo.]

That's rough. ...how'd it- do you mind if I ask how it happened?

[expertreese]

I - I don't remember. That's weird, right? [He laughs nervously, just once.] I mean, everybody says that's weird, and I don't, I don't know how I could've ended up here. I'm not anybody really.

[holyspit]

It's a little weird. My memory- it's not. Super clear. But I think that might've been the knockout stuff?

[expertreese]

The - oh. Yeah. I, uh, I guess.

[..........]

But I mean, I was here alone, except for Beetlejuice. So I don't, um, think it was...? [a murdergame, he means]

[holyspit]

...I'm so sorry.

[He hasn't super spoken to BJ directly, but. That seems like a lot.]

[expertreese]

It's, um. It's probably fine.
